What is the meaning of the name Godrick ?

The baby name Godrick is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced GOD-rik — UK: /ˈɡɒd.rɪk/, US: /ˈɡɑːd.rɪk/.

Godrick is English in Origin.

A sturdy Anglo-Saxon name formed from Old English god "God" and ric "ruler, power," Godrick conveys "God's ruler," "ruler by God's power," or "mighty through God." In early English records the form is Godric, often Latinized as Godricus; the -ck spelling is a later variant that harmonizes with familiar -rick names in modern English.

The name was common in pre-Conquest England and appears in Domesday-era documents, then receded after the Norman influx of continental fashions, though devotion to St. Godric of Finchale kept it in occasional use. In recent centuries it remains rare but periodically revived by interest in medieval heritage and by literature and fantasy. Principal variants include Godric (standard), Goderic (medieval), and the modern spellings Godrick and Godrik; Godrich occurs as a surnamic form. Nicknames such as Rick or Rik are plausible, and an archaic feminine counterpart Godrica is attested.
